Shulamith Firestone
“...he will go to his grave feeling cheated, never realizing that there isn't much difference between one woman and the other, that it is the loving that creates the difference.”
Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution

Shulamith Firestone
“a revolutionary in every bedroom cannot fail to shake up the status quo. And if it is your wife that is revolting, you can't just split to the suburbs. Feminism, when it truly achieves it's goals, will crack through the most basic structures of our society.”
Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution
